Financial Assistance Programs
- Sarcoma Foundation of America - Jordan’s Dream Fund for Clinical Trials helps cover out-of-pocket expenses for sarcoma patients participating in clinical trials. It is the first-of-its-kind financial assistance for the sarcoma community. This program will provide assistance with direct expenses related to transportation (airfare, gas, rental cars, etc.), lodging and some medical expenses not covered by insurance and necessary for clinical trial treatment. Grants up to $5,000 will be awarded four times each year in February, May, September, and November. Adjusted gross household income and other factors will be considered in funding awards.
- Alex’s Lemonade Stand Travel for Care Program is to ensure children battling childhood cancer have the financial assistance needed to travel to clinical trials, experimental therapeutics, or treatment innovations not currently available at their local institution. Funding for transportation and lodging is available for eligible families who are financially burdened by traveling away from their home hospital for care that is only available elsewhere.
- Rally Family Emergency Fund provides financial assistance with an annual cap of $1,500. The child must be in treatment for a cancer-related diagnosis or within one year post-treatment. Assistance is still provided up to one year after treatment if the child passes away. Funds may be used for medical bills, treatment-related costs and essential living expenses such as utilities, car payment and mortgages.
